All things Creedmoor. Compare the ballistics of a 6.5 CM with the 6.5x55 in the same twist rate and you will find the the 140 year old 6.5x55 provides virtually the same performance. The venerable 6mm Rem outruns the 6CM. Not sexy perhaps, but the numbers tell the story.
That said, I do own a 6.5 CM which I enjoy shooting but It absolutely drives me crazy when I hear guys at the range talking about it as though it somehow possesses the ability to defy the force of gravity.

7-08
I can't even count the guys I have ran into at the range over the years that can't shoot, know absolutely nothing. But they read on the inter web that a Tikka 7-08 was the be all, end all to every big game animal and hunting situation in North America. As long as you have a Barnes bullet stuffed in the case.
You can use it to part ragging creeks and walk across on dry land, it defies the laws of gravity. In a tight spot it can be used as a weed pipe and makes an excellent high lifter Jack handle.
But all the above does not apply unless the driver of the rifle is dressed head to toe in Sitka gear and the rifle can only be transported in a Toyota TRD. There is also a minimum amount of selfies that must be taken per range session.

30-06. Heard so many kids when I was growing up and even now that had to get a 30-06 to hunt deer just like their dad. It's like you have to have a 30-06 to be a man. Saw fathers give their young son a 30-06 at the range and after they shot it, they didn't want to shoot anymore.
Also all the Creedmoors. Hornady just copied all past good cartridges.
Love too many cartridges to list.

7 REM Mag and the 6.5 Creed! Of course, I'm not a fan of anything under 30 caliber…..except for shooting smallish varmints!

The 7 SAUM with 180 Berger hybrids. Totally overrated, almost every animal it hits runs and it's hard to tune. That being said let me save you time and money. I will gladly take all that junk SAUM brass and bergers, I would even pay for the shipping. You can thank me later… aloha brothers!

Hate is such a harsh word. We should be inclusive since there's room for everyone's cartridge…. Unless it's a magical creedmoor
I have to list two cartridges I love because of their efficiency, ease to reload and accuracy is highly achievable…..
7mm SAUM & 30 Nosler
This one is more of a Love/Hate….
28 nosler . East to load highly accurate but barrel life is really horrible. By the time you love it, it she will have lots of plastic surgeries and a new barrel
